I agree that case hardening would probably be a waste of time. A friend of mine came by the shop last week with 5 spike knives. He split about 1 1/2" of the point of each spike and inserted a piece of high carbon steel in and forge welded it and forged to a knife shape. He hardened them in oil. They cut very well and held a good edge.

Good looking knife, I like the contrast of the copper. The only sealing of a antler handle that i've done is to use super glue to seal shallow cracks.

Thanks for the kind words! Buddy

Maybe you should try a local electric motor repair shop. Ask for large scrap bearings. I've made many knives from ball and races and think it is the best steel available from scrap. Buddy

That is a good looking knife! What steel did you use making the damascus? Thanks, Buddy

I really like that knife. I like the texture of the moose horn. I've never used moose horn, but that look good. Is that from the flat part fo the horn?

MSC Industrial Supply Co. Home Page has 01 flat and round steel. Most of the knife makers supply companys sell 01 flat stock. Not sure what r6 is.

Thanks, I've not used rollers. I've used ball bearings and had pretty good luck with them. The steel is a little hard to work by hand, but makes a good blade. Holds an edge well and very easy to re-sharpen.

I like the way the pattern goes all the way to the edge. Good looking knife sir!

I like the finish on that knife. At 2 1/2 pounds, I bet it will do some serious chopping. I like the wood. Oak?

I used 1095, 15N20 and nickel. The pattern is random. Thanks, Buddy

W 1 drill rod is available through MSC, # 1-800-645-7270. MSC Industrial Supply Co., there are probably plenty places to get W1, this is where I get it. The walnut is from a board a friend gave me a while back. Thanks, Buddy
